Friars Carse Wedding | Dumfries and Borders Wedding Photography | by Duncan Ireland

 I predict a riot…

…a riot...of colour..!

Golden, auburn, russets and rouge, burnt umber, ocher, rich orange, deep yellow - pumpkins glowing and sparklers burning.  Aileen and Ted's wedding lit up my Autumn and the seasonal colour of Friars Carse shone in a spectacular end to the year.  Here we are then… it's Aileen and Ted's perfect day in Dumfries and Galloway.

This year's Westsound Wedding Competition has been such a great experience to be part of.  Wendy and Scott are a lovely couple, and their wedding day was filled with smiles, laughter, an outdoor ceremony, with the magnificent backdrop of Comlongon Castle!

The light was soft, the foxgloves were at their peak, swallows darted above us, and in a magnificent finale to the day the sky erupted into blue!
